Cosplay in Taipei - CWT32 & CWT33

Cosplay is pretty popular in Taiwan. Especially the Japanese comic book and video game characters. I recently attended the CWT32 and and CWT33 events hosted by Comic World Taiwan to take some photos. These are held at National Taiwan University every few months.

These were all shot with a Canon 7D and Canon 17-55mm lens. A 50X50 cm softbox and reflector was used for lighting.

Souji Okita (沖田総司, Okita Souji)

Souji Okita (沖田総司, Okita Souji) is one of the main characters in Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan. He is based on the historical Okita Soji.

Okita is a handsome young man, standing at 176 cm or 5’9” with brick
brown hair and emerald green eyes, with a charming personality and
sarcastic wit.
He idolizes Isami Kondou, the commander of the Shinsengumi, and
imitates his hair style. As much as he tries to hide it most of the time
with teasing and rudeness, he is honest, good natured, polite, but he
seems to be the type of person who likes to keep important information
to himself, just to see what happens. Souji has a great respect for
Kondou and is, in fact, one of the most loyal men to him among the
Shingengumi.
He usually wears red/gray/orange clothes and due to his
tuberculosis has a failing sense of taste, requiring him to eat strongly
seasoned food (to everyone else's misfortune when he's on cooking
duty), but attempts to hide the beforementioned disease.
Souji warned Chizuru that if she ever got in his way during patrol or a
fight, he'd kill her, and yet, he protected her from Kazama during the
Ikedaya incident, despite him being injured. When everyone realized
Chizuru was a girl, Souji commented that "It was obvious she was a girl"
yet he didn't say anything.
